Course Description
Come enjoy a 6 hour or 12 hour journey around a looped 2.5K (~1.57 mile) singletrack course in the shadow of Mt. Woodson in Ramona California! This course is hosted at the wonderful residence of one of our very own SURF members. You’ll experience a punchy, winding course that navigates through boulder fields, sage brush, and the remnants of an avocado orchard. Come prepared for vert! Each lap boasts over 335’ of climbing and a refreshing pass through a well stocked aid station.
Overview
Get ready for a unique, grassroots endurance test: San Diego Ultra Running Friends (SURF) invites runners to cover as many laps as possible over 6 or 12 hours on a sweet singletrack loop. Set in the foothills near Mt. Woodson, this race offers a rugged, fun, high-vert experience that rewards persistence and pacing as much as speed. The loop format means you’ll learn terrain, fine-tune strategy mid-race, and stay close to support.
Please note: there are no refunds, transfers, or deferrals for this event.
Aid Station & Support
There is one aid station placed so that runners pass through it each lap. The aid station is well stocked with typical runner fare, including electrolyte drink and various snacks, and offers consistent access to hydration and nutrition.
Volunteers will assist with parking and bib pickup on race morning. Parking is available either on the driveway or along the road, guided by volunteers.
Make sure to stick around for all kinds of delicious picnic and grilled foods throughout the day, courtesy of Pat and Debbie Meskell. Bring your family along to hang out too!
Runner Experience
Get ready for some vert! The climbing is consistent, so endurance and strength will matter throughout the day (or evening).
This is a community-driven event, celebrating the San Diego Ultra Running Friends (SURF) spirit with a relaxed and social atmosphere. Expect cheers, good times, post-run food, dip in the pool, and even pickleball. Spectators and crew can easily support runners throughout the day, while taking in the expansive views from Mt Woodson all the way to the ocean
